<p>A new proposal has been announced: <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/436">Allow changing the bug report url for the ice hook #436</a>. It will be announced at the next meeting to try and draw attention to it, but usually MCPs are not discussed during triage meetings. If you think this would benefit from discussion amongst the team, consider proposing a design meeting.</p>

<p>Why did triagebot comment twice that the MCP has been seconded?</p>

<p>It might make sense to provide some guidance on whether we expect Linux distributions and similar to change this. Sometimes, when a distribution like Debian sees a configurable bug-reporting URL, they change it to their distribution bug tracker, on the theory that they should be filtering bugs before sending them upstream (in case they're distribution-specific or caused by a distribution change). We should decide if we want that to happen or not, and provide some documentation right next to the setting accordingly.</p>

<p>They were already able to do that by patching the hard-coded URL. I don't see why allowing it to change at runtime would change things.</p>

<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="232545">@Joshua Nelson</span> Because it offers a clear knob to tweak, and distributions look for those knobs.</p>

<p>I'm suggesting that in the spot where we document that knob, we document our expectations. Is this <em>only</em> for tools that reuse internal bits of rustc? Or is this also for distributors, who might think they should be taking more responsibility for bug reports?</p>

<p>This URL still cannot be changed without patching the compiler source, so I don't think the situation is too different from before</p>
